Welcome to the Draughon House, a five-bedroom home with both historic and modern features. The home is just north of Springfield, TN and a short drive to both Nashville and Clarksville. The home retains several of the original 1930s and mid-century decorations and features, but it includes modern updates and conveniences for today's travelers and families.

The former residents were pioneers in middle Tennessee broadcasting and gasoline distribution businesses. Vintage pictures of the businesses and the middle Tennessee area are on display.

The home features a sunroom, dining room, living room, den, and outside patio areas for eating and relaxing. There are great spaces for quiet conversation and alone time.

The sunroom has two tables and a vintage couch glider to enjoy beautiful views of farmland, mature trees, an antique gasoline pump, and more. The tables have seating for 9 people.

The den has a sofa and chairs for relaxing and visiting. A buffet and cabinet contain games and puzzles; they can be enjoyed on a game table in the room.

The full kitchen has plenty of counter space, a double oven for the chefs, a toaster oven, and a microwave. The custom cabinets are stocked with utensils, cookware and dishes.

The arched front door and original transoms are a few of the architectural features of the home. A piano graces the foyer.

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up in Springfield and spent many nights with my grandparents at this home. I became a computer engineer in Huntsville and Washington, DC, but I returned home to help in a family business of property management.

I want this home to be part of bringing people together.

What makes this property unique

My mother's parents moved into this home in 1930; they remodeled the house in 1932. The house still has original light fixtures, wall arches, transoms with original screening, wide molding at the base of the walls, narrow hardwood flooring, original heartwood pine flooring in the kitchen, a rounded solid wood front door, and other unique features.

I had wonderful visits with my grandparents at this house. After my grandmother died, my mother wanted to move back to this house where she grew up. She had rooms added to one end of it, but she kept many of the original features in the older rooms. She enjoyed living in it, and the views, for over 20 years.

I wanted to keep the house in the family after my mother's death. It was not practical for me to move in it, but I wanted to share it and its history with others. We have historical pictures of Springfield and Nashville throughout the house. Many people have worked to make it a pleasant, historic, and, I hope, fun house for groups to stay in. We appreciate your consideration of staying at the Draughon House on your next visit to the middle Tennessee or southern Kentucky area.
